Neil’s personal note… Community is calling—louder than ever.
Coho/US staff, Raines and I have put together some great resources to help 
connect visitors with cohousing communities across the country. Canada too. :) 
Whether you’re hosting virtually or in person, it’s now easier than ever to 
list your event, be found in our Open House Directory, and hear directly from 
curious visitors (maybe even future neighbors!).

Visit our webpage to get started—it has everything you need to list your 
community, find events, and foster the connections we’re all craving right now.

Looking forward to seeing you in person and on my screen. 
With Raines, co-organizer for this whole kit and caboodle
